The Joule compression ankle socks are the perfect solution to provide support when you want to be barefoot! You can also wear them IN any shoe that you want to add extra support to but you may not want the bulk of the toes a sock gives. This versatile open toed, ankle high compression sock is so much more than a brace from your local pharmacy. You will love all the ways you can wear it and the quality of the targeted compression for your ankles! All of Apolla compression socks for ankles have the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance, are made of REPREVE® certified sustainable yarns right here in the USA, are moisture-wicking, and antimicrobial.
